Satyash Kumar Yadav, the alleged chief conspirator in the ADEO exam cheating racket in Bihar, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in Patna and appeared before the Munger court. He is accused of taking Rs 15‑20 million from candidates for passing the exam, with 22 co‑accused already in custody.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized Satyash Kumar Yadav, identified as the chief conspirator behind the ADEO examination fraud in Bihar, from Patna on Wednesday. After his arrest, he was escorted to the district court in Munger where a formal hearing was held.
Investigators allege that Yadav collected between Rs 15 million and Rs 20 million from aspiring candidates in exchange for guaranteeing their success in the ADEO entrance test. The scheme reportedly involved falsifying answer sheets and manipulating evaluation processes.
The Munger court recorded his statement and ordered further interrogation. So far, law enforcement agencies have detained 22 other individuals linked to the racket, including exam officials and middlemen, as part of a broader crackdown on educational scams in the state.
Authorities said the operation aims to deter similar fraudulent activities that undermine the integrity of competitive examinations and exploit vulnerable students seeking government jobs.
The case remains under investigation, and the court will decide on bail and further legal steps in the coming days.
